The South China Morning Post, published in Hong Kong, has cited Ghanaian singer, Noella Wiyaala as a role model for Chinese women to follow.Â
Despite been body shamed for having the physique of a man, the Lioness of Africa, as she calls herself, Wiyaala, is making global strides and taking not only her music but her positiveness and relentlessness to people all over the world.
Wiyaala was featured in a BBC documentary quite recently where she talked about going against all odds to stick to her roots and not conform to society’s definition of “beauty†and it looks like the world is paying attention to her.The singer was featured in an article by Luisa Tam on “South China Morning Post†where she was referred to as a “role model†to Hongkong women.
Luisa Tam, senior editor at the Post said Ghanaian pop star Noella Wiyaala, the self-proclaimed “Lioness of Africaâ€, was rejected three times by a television talent show. The reason? The executives said she wasn’t “feminine†enough for their show. In spite of this, she has repeatedly refused to conform to their traditional idea of what makes a woman beautiful.
She further explains by saying "Like Wiyaala, women should not feel pressured to wear cosmetics to fit in. This also means that we should never compromise who we are, we should just be ourselves and wear it like a badge of honor".
Wiyaala has shown the world that beauty is first and foremost defined by how we see ourselves, as well as the importance of self-belief.
